The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

Me too. I still think they should have insisted on rhombus shaped as opposed to diamond though, but I can be a bit pernickety.

I tuned in with trepidation, because apart from the Kilmajaro documentary, I haven't really enjoyed Moyles' appearances on telly much in the past. I was however pleasantly surprised. It was great fun. I shall definitely be tuning in again next Sunday. The quality of the guests is pretty high too.

I don't feel there's much wrong with the format, apart from having a very highly paid guest as the pre-recorded quiz master. It seemed a bit of a waste of la Osbourne. Might as well give Rob DJ the job really and have him on whilst recording the show.

I'm another one who thought it was just okay. Chris was much more natural than on previous tv appearances and it was amusing in places, but the format is hardly gonna set the schedules alight. As someone else has said, it was fine to have on in the background.

I've only seem round one with Babs so far as I felt like crap but I enjoyed it this far. I don't think it's a show designed to win Chris any new fans as he's playing up to all his stereotypes (flirty, arrogant etc). It did seem a bit jumbled though with Sharon as Quizmaster yet appearances from countdown and James Cordon.

I thought Babs was an inspired guest and I was quite pleasantly shocked to see her on it. The screen is good particularly with someone Chris argues a lot with like louis in there. Still. Time for breakfast and to watch the rest of it now.

I think the fact that it is done on a week by week basis is good, because it will enable the format to develop and grow with the audience response. If the whole series was already in the can, it might be a bit worrying.

Nice to see him looking more relaxed in front of the camera. A lot of the humour from the radio show came over as well, which I enjoyed. I thought the show itself was just odd though, very strange format. Fair play for trying something new, but I couldn't really get to grips with it. It needs some serious editing as well, there's not enough content in that kind of programme to string it out for 50 minutes.

I enjoyed it, it was good for a laugh.. no, it's never going to set the world alight, but it clearly doesn't intend to and doesn't take itself too seriously. I'm not keen on the singing at the end either, but the general format of the show was good and original.

1.2/1.3 is the ratings figure most places are saying.

The official figures say 1.2 million watched the main show, then 190,000 then watched it an hour later.

Alot lower than I thought it would be, but as i said a while ago, Channel 4 just dont pull in the ratings ever.

1.2 million is the same amount that The Friday Night Project get.

I thought Chris came across reasonably well. I am not quite as enthuastic about his performance as some others on here, but he certainly wasnt bad. I thought the show was reasonable as well. I only saw the first 35 mins then went to bed as I was knackered. I didnt really want to carry on watching anyway.

It was harmless enough stuff and if it improves from here on in then it could end up as a decent show, but if I'm honest the only reason I will tune in next week is for Moyles and to see if he gets better and can make the transition to TV. Other than him I didnt feel overly enamoured with the show. But it is early days and it would be wrong to slate the show based on episode 1.

I would give Chris a B+ and the show/format a C.

Do you think he's got anything left in the tank though? If his TV persona is already comparable with his radio one, which people seem to agree, then how can he possibly get better bearing in mind he's additionally disadvantaged by working alone. Is there any room for improvement? There certainly needs to be to improve the ratings.

I thought he came across ok, but he wasnt as relaxed as he could have been. By being more relaxed in future will improve things no end.

I'm not quite sold on it yet, i found it very easy to get distracted through it, unlike his radio show where it actually stops me from working.

I'll give it a few weeks to see how it goes before i say if i like it or not.

I'll give it a couple of weeks because it's brand new and I like Chris. Otherwise I wouldn't bother to be honest.

I watched the show again on 4od and I have a feeling it might not do too well. I say this because although Chris and the guests are good, the actual format of the show just doesn't seem right. There is not as much chat as I would like, I guess this is partly because most of the show is taken up by answering questions. I was going to agree with others here saying that a late night chat show would have been better, but with Jonanthan Ross on all the good guests are taken.

I'm still going to watch mind, I just have mixed feelings about the show.

I quite enjoyed the show, it has potential anyway. I'm not too sure about the celebs in a box thing though, it may have worked better if they were all siting round a table together - with a couple of pints, and made it a bit more like a pub quiz. I will give it a go next week anyway - will the guests be any better next week? I didn't like Mark Ronson.

I didn't like Mark Ronson either. He is particularly annoying because you get the feeling that if he could be arsed, he would be really funny. He also seemed drunk or stoned (I'm not saying he was, that might easily just be the way he is normally), and I don't like that on tv.

I made several attempts to edit this file and remove the adverts but every time when exported it didn't play.
( I tried several pieces of software, and several different files types.)


Thank you arnold!

My efforts may be a little redundant now, but I have also uploaded the show. It's in mp4 format (iPod-friendly) and the adverts have been taken out. The link for Show 1 is here.

In addition, a collection of Chris' other TV appearances from the past couple of years can be downloaded from here, most of which are also in mp4 format.

Some of the shorter clips are also available to watch on YouTube.
